If you're ever in any doubt.

Don't mix any chemicals. Ever. Consult your supervisor or manager and their collection of safety data sheets

PPE is enforced when there is no other possible way to prevent injury and refusing to use it is putting you in harm's way

I'm completely baffled by how many companies have been fined, directors put in prison and unfortunate workers injured.

It's 2020 and companies are still cutting corners with safety?

A large number of the chemicals we use in our industries are highly hazardous and a lot of them can explode, ignite or just outright melt through something if used or stored incorrectly

Every school in the UK is required to provide proper chemical safety measures to protect their employees, and most importantly, their students - your children

Today I'm going to tell you about a group of chemicals that are formidable in the potential risks they pose to public health.

Not only to us humans but often to the devastation of the environment too

I have heard it being said that COSHH training is only required for employees of large businesses in the industrial sector who use large quantities of very dangerous substances.

This is shocking!

Risk assessments must make certain that the storage area is a separate area from where the work process is undertaken.

They must also take into consideration how the work process will affect the storage area

These basic rules are the backbone of all chemical safety and will ensure, along with the proper training, that your faithful employees are able to return home to their families at the end of their day

Safety data sheets are crucial documents for the safe use, handling and supply of chemicals. Every single chemical in existence has this set of guidelines

When a workplace frequently uses chemicals, or creates substances that are hazardous to health through a work process then everyone on-site must immediately be able to know and recognise the COSHH symbols and their meanings

If you use chemicals of any kind in your workplace, and most businesses do, then you should read this carefully

COSHH is a statutory body of regulations in the United Kingdom.

It places certain requirements on employers to ensure that employees and other visitors to a workplace are protected from hazardous substances

To me, when it comes to chemical risk assessment or COSHH assessment, existing training seems questionable or inadequate
